Some inspiration

I write to you now on board our overnight ferry from Italy to Greece, the last country on our voyage before we arrive in Israel. On Monday we traveled from Siena to our evening stop-over in an amazing castle just north of Rome. Tuesday, we drove down to Naples driving through the winding hills of central Italy.

As promised, I'll take this opportunity to share with you some experiences that we have had with a particular individual on this trip.

And off we go. . .

The 7th JNF UK London - Jerusalem Car Rally, in celebration of Israel's 60th Anniversary, is departing London Sunday, May 18th.

Twenty Five classic and historic cars will drive the 2,500 miles- on a route that trails through France, Switzerland, Italy, Greece and finally Israel.

This year, two of the Rally's participants - Aly Singer and Yan Cohen- will be making Aliyah upon arriving in Israel. The young Brits will be driving a 1948 Rolls Royce to Jerusalem where they will be welcomed as new Olim on June 4th. The cars will drive right up to the Knesset and be welcomed by the heads of State. 

At the end of the rally, when all the drivers will return to their homes, Aly and Yan will begin life in their new home in Israel. Follow the two young pioneers on their amazing adventure -  read about the passing scenery, the hotels they stay at and their feelings through this life changing journey.

Tzvi/amerikkka: why do you think your fruit trees need you or anyone to take care of them? fruit trees were growing long before you came along and will be here long after you are worm feed.
spoiledbrat USA: Thank you for moving article on fruit trees & children. Won't you try to get European Jews home to Eretz Israel? Europe is a graveyard for them. G-d bless you.
Lauren Helfand: You are very lucky to have made aliyah and your children are also incredibly lucky. It's never too soon to teach your children how to take care of the earth. Get them to help you water and cultivate outside. It's healthy for everyone and you will be setting a good example to them of how to be good stewards of this earth.
